well we know by that verse that the plans are for good and not for evil, but other than that we just have to trust in Him for everything else. (which is probably one of the hardest things to do...even though He is the one that can see the big picture of our lives.) Proverbs 3:5&6 says Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your path straight.
well yes i do have the most amazing mom ;) and our relationship has grown tremendously over the years. for my father though- he was a pastor and had an affair with a person in the church and was physically abusive to my mom (since their honeymooon night) and to my sister and I. My mom did not believe in divorce so she stayed and eventually my father left our family. (it got really bad between my 3rd and 5th grade years) so even a counselor labeled him as a pathological liar and sociopath and it would be harmful for us to see him. so therefore i do not have a relationship with my father (he has never once thought he did anything wrong) that is how i began to love God so much more because he is the only Father in my life. My faith has actually grown stronger because of all that and it would seem that i would never go back to the church after that happening. but God is faithful and got my mom, sister and i safely out of that situation. all glory to Him! so thats a little bit about my father. just want to let you know too, that i am praying for you.
I have not talked to my dad since middle school, and i am perfectly okay with that. he lives in across the country and is still a pastor..he has not apologized for what he has done, therefore i cannot have a healthy relationship with him. God is my heavenly daddy and he has provided a great example for me. about the car crash- that is the most asked question i think among everyone- how could God do something like that....and a lot of times the answer is i dont know- however i do know that that boy is in heaven because Jesus Christ was his personal savior so therefore for him it was not harm and it was not for evil. but for everyone else left it doesnt seem right.....however it has drawn his family and others closer to God where they have realized it was for a purpose and his mom knows that. She is holding tight to the fact that she can grow closer to God through this seemed tragedy. it is making her stronger in her faith. like what i went throuugh seemed at the time to cause more harm than good- but ultimately God's glory was shown through it and it worked out for the good. its something hard to grasp at first- and a lot of times i still ask God why things like that happen- but he does allow certain things to happen to draw people to Him and to show His sovereign glory through the situation.
i will be starting to write regularly soon! i go up to school tomorrow so therefore be looking in the next week or so :)
if you want something amazing to read start reading a chapter from the book of John everyday. it will show you more what Jesus is like and his journey through his life. :)
